Love's Change of Heart

Chapter 405

Leanna returned to the Crossley Residence in the evening. Just as she was about to go upstairs, Lloyd stepped out of his study and said impassively, "I told you that there are rules in the Crossley Family. Since you live here now, you have to abide by them."

Leanna returned to the Crossley Residence in the evening. Just as she was about to go upstairs, Lloyd stepped out of his study and said impassively, "I told you that there are rules in the Crossley Family. Since you live here now, you have to abide by them."

She replied with a smile, "I'm sorry, Mr. Crossley. It's my terrible memory again. With your reminder, I won't make the same mistake."

Lloyd's face fell when he heard that.

Leanna went on to say, "By the way, I've published a clarification as per your request. When will you fulfill your promise?"

Lloyd refuted, "Do you think your clarification is good enough?"

"How could you say that, Mr. Crossley? I feel wronged." Leanna started talking nonsense with an innocent expression. "I asked the best lawyer in town to draft the clarification for me. He said that since I was representing the entire studio and not just myself, I had to be careful with how the statement was worded and minimize the impact on everyone else. The clarification was posted after a lengthy process of deliberation."

She shifted the blame to Freddie easily.

Lloyd frowned as he doubted her statement, and his expression remained dark.

Leanna continued, "I'm a businesswoman myself, Mr. Crossley. Regardless of what happened, most netizens are standing up for me. If I side with Miss Crossley at this point, I'll be criticized. Several people suspect that I've received some benefits or have been threatened. If I still do it now, their suspicions will be proven right. You're a businessman yourself, Mr. Crossley, so I'm sure you'll understand why I've chosen to publish such a clarification."

Lloyd squinted his eyes. He wasn't aware that Leanna was such a calculating person back then. He snorted. "It seems that there are some clever people behind your back."

Leanna replied, "Well, I'm on good terms with many wonderful people. Anyway, I'm not comparable to Miss Crossley, who can solve all the problems with money."

Lloyd knew that she was hinting at everything that had happened so far, so he silently returned to his room with a cold expression.

Once the door was closed, Leanna pocketed her gaze. As her smile faded, she shuffled to the second floor.

The moment she arrived at the studio the next morning, many notifications popped up on her phone. Before she could take a look, Zoe dashed into her office and panted, saying, "Good news, Nana!"
